Key Quotes:
"The start of the cycle getting closer and becoming a nonissue, Fed officials are back on emphasising their expectations of a very gradual path.
The dots – projections for the Fed Fund Target from FOMC members – provide a clear illustration of the message: monetary policy will keep on providing the necessary support for a prolonged period.
However, the current level of accommodation has to be downsized: failing to do so would ultimately be causing risks on the economic outlook and the financial stability."
